PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India

June-July 2007

Summer Intern

Remote Eye (Visual C++)

. Developed the system to administrate the whole LAN structure & the

servers of the computer centre

. Displays the clients logged in, information about the logged-in

user, obtain system information etc

. Developed server monitoring to monitor the servers by reporting to

administrator via an automatic generated e-mail and a telephone

call about the failure of any server

. Developed, tested and implemented the complete project

University of Texas at Arlington since

Jan 2010

Graduate Research Assistant

System Administrator (CSE services)

. Installing, supporting and maintaining labs of Professors in CSE

department

. Supporting and maintaining user, mail and web servers of department

. Hardware/software troubleshooting and Inventory management

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Master Thesis Project (C and MATLAB)

since Jan 2010

. Method for 2-D recommenders with missing values

. Tensor(2DSVD) method for recommender systems with cross-validation

. Comparing performance and accuracy aspects with present algorithms

SPOTNet (SunSPOTs, J2ME) June-July

2009

. SunSPOTS send packets in multiple hops to distant SunSPOT in order

to save energy

. Implemented the greedy Perimeter stateless routing algorithm to

find the location of nearest SunSPOT

Spanning Tree Protocol: Enhancing Metro Ethernet Performance

Feb-Mar 2009

. Proposed the new approach K, M Fat-spanning tree protocol

. Compared with present spanning tree protocols used in high

performance telecommunications networks like MPLS

Memento (MFC VC++, OpenCV and Windows Mobile)

Feb-May 2009

. Developed a Windows mobile application that detects the faces of

the people and recognize them by matching them with the images of

the people stored in the file database

. Camera in the phone captures the image and sends it to server.

Server responds with information about the person

. The file database contains people's stored images and their

corresponding metadata

Virtual Chess players (SunSPOTs, J2ME and Artificial Intelligence)

Sep-Nov 2008

. Each player (SunSPOT device) maintains game state and communicates

with each other broadcasting the moves of the game

. When a SunSPOT goes down, the game is halted and the game is

synchronized when it becomes active again

. An eavesdropper (Base station SunSPOT) listens to the moves and

displays on the computer

Road Traffic Monitor (C# and MySQL)

Sep-Nov 2008

. Developed a multithreaded Client/Server system that displays the

current traffic conditions of various roads of Arlington, Texas

. The client can get the current traffic state of the roads by

sending the request to Server and can also update the state of any

road by sending the update request to server

Fingerprint Matching (Java)

Jan-May 2008

. Developed an application for matching the fingerprints stored in

database

. Implemented image enhancement and minutiae extraction algorithms

for matching

ACHIEVEMENTS

. Presented Technical Paper on "Application of data mining in

Intelligent Tutoring Systems" in National Level Technical Symposium

Apogee -07 organized at Birla Institute of Technology and Science,

Pilani, India

. Secured the All India Rank (466) in the Second National Science

Olympiad conducted by the Science Olympiad Foundation
